Charlie Kirk on Social Media Censorship and How Trump Is Giving Hope to Young Americans

[00:00] here to weigh in Fox News contributor

[00:01] Turning Point us a founder Charlie

[00:03] Charlie Kirk Charlie welcome so I'm not

[00:06] even going to debate whether

[00:07] conservatives are being band shadow

[00:09] banned or censored on social media I

[00:11] believe it and I think there's enough

[00:13] evidence out there my question to you

[00:15] and your young guy why aren't more

[00:18] conservatives especially young people

[00:19] inventing another platform I mean

[00:21] there's clearly a market for it you

[00:24] speak to the president if just one

[00:25] person Donald Trump left that would

[00:27] probably hurt the bottom line for

[00:29] Twitter totally look the left is making

[00:32] their big move before the midterms this

[00:34] is their great offensive to try to

[00:35] silence differing opinion and make no

[00:38] mistake it's not because the

[00:39] conservative voices are offensive it's

[00:41] because they are effective they are

[00:43] going after some of the most highly

[00:44] engaged popular conservative voices out

[00:47] there that's that speak hard true so

[00:49] some are some we some would say

[00:50] controversial but wait a second why are

[00:52] they not getting rid of voices like

[00:54] Louis Farrakhan or some of the ISIS

[00:56] length accounts instead you see these

[00:58] tech giant's collude together you see

[01:00] Twitter Facebook and Apple and Google

[01:02] all in the same day idealist

[01:04] conservative voices and it's because

[01:06] they're afraid of the effectiveness of

[01:08] these conservative voices we need to

[01:10] push back because it could be a huge

[01:11] huge problem moving forward well you

[01:12] know what and and you are pushing back

[01:14] but Charlie you look at these you know

[01:18] we heard about diamond and silk we've

[01:19] heard about different people who have

[01:21] been you know essentially shut down or

[01:24] throttled to where they get no traffic

[01:26] if the social media Giants are doing

[01:29] them they're not doing it very well

[01:31] because everybody's on to them because

[01:33] they can chart it they can look at it at

[01:35] a gauge and they can say okay add 3

[01:37] million yesterday and then I had zero

[01:39] and it looks like I'm being silenced

[01:42] right and so for example Prager

[01:44] University should find a really

[01:45] important light on this just a couple

[01:47] weeks core that reach went from a couple

[01:48] million to zero and the leader McCarthy

[01:51] has been shining a very very important

[01:53] light from a congressional side but you

[01:54] make a great point this is not good for

[01:56] business they're gonna disenfranchise

[01:58] half of America they continue on this

[02:00] path but the very bottom line is the

[02:02] left hates the idea that there are other

[02:04] ideas and they control these public

[02:07] forums are these vehicles a conversation

[02:08] they're gonna use every piece of power

[02:10] influence they can to try to suppress

[02:12] our voice and we cannot

[02:13] Stanford meanwhile Charlie you say that

[02:15] Trump is giving hope to young people

[02:17] explain look during the Obama years we

[02:21] were complaining about youth

[02:22] unemployment being near 20 percent

[02:24] student loans student loan debt

[02:26] skyrocketing and now we see the lowest

[02:27] youth unemployment in 50 years wages

[02:29] going up it's the best economy to be a

[02:31] recent college graduate and thanks to

[02:33] the leadership of President Donald Trump

[02:35] our generation has hope and optimism

[02:37] again a lot different than that was

[02:39] promised under President Obama but low

[02:40] taxes less regulation entrepreneurial

[02:43] friendly economy is very very good for

[02:45] young people that are entering the

[02:46] workforce and we should be thankful that

[02:48] we're able to live in this country at

[02:49] this time with this president has given

[02:50] the opportunity for our generation that

[02:52] was really quite frankly living in

[02:54] mediocrity under the previous

[02:55] administration so this generation is is

[02:57] seeing the benefit of the Trump economy

[03:00] you're saying but Charlie do they

[03:01] realize it's Donald Trump and the

[03:03] Republicans who gave them a tax cut and

[03:05] have lessened the regulations or are

[03:08] they just young people in there like

[03:09] yeah this is great

[03:11] well so look it's gonna be up to us to

[03:14] make the compelling argument for the

[03:15] midterms and of course in a 2020 that it

[03:17] is this president that has turned the

[03:19] economy around for young people and

[03:20] that's why you are seeing more

[03:22] opportunity and higher wages and and

[03:25] more jobs and look it's really

[03:26] interesting the left is trying to take

[03:27] credit for this and they said well this

[03:29] is the guy that's gonna crash the

[03:30] economy you can't have it both ways if

[03:32] you are going to blame him for a crashed

[03:33] economy you got to give him credit for

[03:35] the booming one and ever since he took

[03:36] office you have seen unemployment go to

[03:38] record low levels for black on black

[03:40] unemployment Hispanic unemployment youth

[03:42] unemployment woman unemployment wages

[03:44] are going up GDP growth the first time

[03:46] in this century that the GDP rate is

[03:48] higher than the unemployment rate think

[03:50] about that for a second four point one

[03:51] GDP growth three point nine percent

[03:53] unemployment rate remarkable numbers and

[03:55] it's only get better from here

[03:56] you only hear it if you're watching Fox

[03:57] I watched the other Network sometimes

[03:59] and I tell you your number here at there

[04:01] anyway see they have a lot of

[04:02] interesting other stuff to talk about
